Another factor not brought into consideration here may be that there are two uses of "senior dev" in this conversation so far; one of them refers to a person who has been asked to work on something they're very familiar with (the same tech stack, a similar problem they've encountered etc.) whereas the other one has been asked to work on something unfamiliar.

For the second use case, I can easily see how effectively prompting a model can boost productivity. A few months ago, I had to work on implementing a Docker registry client and I had no idea where to begin, but prompting a model and then reviewing its code, and asking for corrections (such as missing pagination or parameters) allowed me to get said task done in an hour.
Why do parasites survive in Nature? A huge bunch survive even though they have no or negative value to the host. They survive because that survival strategy, works for them.

Species emerge and survive where there is a unfilled niche in the environment. Bitcoin fills such niches the financial system doesn't serve. Such as black/gray markets, tax evaders, money launderers etc. All being as ancient as organized economies. When you ask why we haven't got rid of them, you start hitting deeper issues of human behavior, social and economic systems, that will take their own sweet time to deal with due to the level of complexity of the problems.

Other side to the story of why bitcoin survives is peoples reaction to loss of anonymity, bail outs of the "too big to fail" bunch etc.

Basically different groups are using the tool for their own reasons. Its pure luck they are in alignment. Which leads to more investments and innovation. If these groups find different tools to solve their problems then the story changes.

jeffbee - this is an unrelated comment because I need to follow up with you on a comment you made (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41873615) a couple of months ago. Could you reach out via email to paul@linuxaudiosystems.com ? Thanks. I'll delete this comment in 24 hrs.

No, "We the People" grant property rights and other favors to businesses. If they act against the best interests of the country then they can be appropriately taxed. There's no need to resort to full blown communism on account of unpatriotic behavior from our businesses.
Yeah, that's surely part of that. There are authorized service centers in major cities, but that's not very accessible for a lot of people. When I got my battery replaced, it meant 2 trips to a 100 km distant city (no same day replacement) which also meant a day without my phone. I could have opted for an unauthorized repair shop, but again there's the problem with trust, these often seem quite sketchy.
Yes I could see deals being worked out where gateway partners instead build parts of a lunar base. The international partnerships a likely the biggest piece going for gateway in terms of not being cancelled

I would REALLY love if job postings had to go through a government clearing house. Only real jobs get posted. Only real applicants can apply.

Bonus: jobs would have to be classified according to a single government standard, so it should be possible to search for a good job match by at least limiting the field and (allowed) location(s).
Most phones don't have battery that is removable. But they are indeed serviceable. The battery alone is generally about 10 to 20 usd. And depends on where you are, add the service fee. Your phone is again good for 2 or 3 years. It's really just a tiny portion of new phone consider high end phones today went up to 1000~1500 usd range.

The official vendor normally have an artificially high service fee because they want you to buy a new one instead which is much more profitable. But servicing it in third party vendors isn't that expensive.
Using a powerful IDE does not preclude dropping into the command line for that kind of repetitive, scriptable work, and many of us do use both.
I forget which one, but there's a Larry Niven science fiction story that uses this as a plot point. Our hero takes advantage of the sun blocker spot on the villian's plane or ship by approaching in the line of sight of the planet's sun.
Hmm, not to chose sides too much, but I found it to be a long-winded allegory that only partly succeeds in advancing its argument. I'm skeptical some kind of cheerful fatalism is holding us back, the most obvious objection is that any kind of amazing cure for aging would be very unlikely to reach everyone. And if it did, we'd have to deal with tremendous demographic pressures (which the story artfully dodges at the very end).
This is just fear mongering. If a job posting got spammed with 200 fake resumes from multiple fake applicants then the first thing we’re doing is cancelling our job postings with whatever service is so poor that it can’t reject basic spam attacks like this.

Honestly, I think people vastly overestimate how much hiring managers use AI for filtering. Blaming AI for rejections has become a common coping mechanism because it’s easier to think that a broken AI filter rejected you instead of the company making a valid decision to go with someone else.

>But, at least as implemented on mainstream Linux distributions, at the cost of "DLL Hell" that makes releasing reasonably granular libraries on a reasonably granular schedule essentially impossible, as per the article.

The article is about problems associated with Rust. I think Rust is too new of an ecosystem to have mature developers committing to stable versions of libraries and applications which depend on stable libraries, both of which are essential to making dynamic linkage work.

Linux doesn't have DLL Hell generally. That term comes from the Windows world where there are systems in place to store every version of every DLL ever seen, because even DLLs with the same version may not be interchangeable. That is truly hellish.
Elon Musk is a person with both tech influence and now political influence. His alt accounts have influence as well and are therefore relevant.
Yeah it’s gig market BS 10 years after everyone has discovered the pitfalls. Probably the most interesting thing about this story is that there are two people named Jonathan Cohen that had a similar enough business idea to start together as founders. Neat
I will document it and share with you.
It’s the same for me. When I read people say they send hundreds of job applications I don’t understand how that’s even possible. Any time I’ve been looking for a job I usually find maybe five jobs that actually interest me and I think I would be a good fit for, and then another five that I maybe don’t quite meet the all the requirements or don’t seem that interesting but it’s near enough that I might as well give it a go. I usually don’t make all those applications at once because I find managing more than about three applications to be a hassle.

As far as I can recall I’ve never not had an interview from an application.

I do generally use recruitment agencies so maybe that’s a factor.
Apple have already been taking steps to comply with this, with new “electrically-induced adhesive debonding” glue used to secure the iPhone 16 battery, instead of the problematic "stretch to remove" adhesive strips.

Apparantely this makes it significantly easier to change the battery compared to previous models:

Good luck.

The applicants doing fake job applications do not care about your laws at all. Many might be in foreign countries. They might plan on applying with stolen identities.

Making a law isn’t going to change a thing. Even if you did, what company is going to spend resources tracking down the likely fake identity of someone applying for a job just to hand it to law enforcement for them to ignore in their backlog forever?
> I dont think Russia was threatened by Ukraine, but NATO and more specifically the US.

Russia was threatened by EU actually. The initial 2013 crisis, Crimea / Donbas invasions happened as a consequence of EU association agreement which was pulling Ukraine away from Russia.

Russia isn't threatened in the sense that NATO will invade Russia proper - the nukes pretty much guarantee that can't happen. NATO / EU are "invading" what Putin considers to be Russia's sphere of influence. In case of Ukraine, Putin plans/planned to unite Russia, Ukraine and Belarus into one country - the creeping integration of Belarus serves as a template.

Wow, so feature rich, congrats on the release. Love that the mnemonic generation takes into account your existing memory anchors (didn’t know that term).

I’ve actually been working on a similar-ish Anki Plugin for about 6 months - it can autogenerate any field via LLM in bulk, as well as images and TTS. I’m not explicitly targeting the med school use case as much yours (I use it for language learning), and it’s more GUI centric/geared towards non-technical Anki users who don’t want to fiddle with a bunch of different API keys etc. Was planning to launch HN soon but you beat me to the punch!

Are you sure you replied to the correct comment?
Just from memory when the scheme came up in earlier discussion.

The system is essentially scanning for the signature for some known set of images of abuse so that it aims to capture abusers who would naively keep just these images on their machines. (It can't determine if a new image is abusive, notably).

It's conceivable some number of (foolish and abusive) people will be caught this way and those favoring a long dragnet for this stuff will be happy. But this opens the possibility that a hacker could upload an image to an innocent person's computer and get that person arrested. Those favoring the long dragnet will naturally say the ends justify the means and you can't make an omelet without cracking a few eggs. Oh, "think of the children".

Edit: Also worth adding that once a company is scanning user content to try to decide if the user is bad, it makes it that much easier to scan all kind of content in all kind of ways for all kinds of reasons. "for the good", naturally.
Possibly. But if the US system was a wealth-producing engine like China's has been in recent history 2008 wouldn't have been all that big a deal. They'd have bounced back in a year or two. Instead in 2008 the US made decisive moves to preserve a system that isn't generating much wealth for the US, and over the course of around 20 years they've arguably managed to give up their position as #1 global economy and are packing stadiums full of people chanting "We love Trump. We love Trump". Looks to me like it is going down in history as a major turning point for the worse.

If China has to take decisive steps to preserve whatever craziness is going on in the mainland, they're going to be preserving a system that has at least 10x-ed their wealth over the last 30 years while producing vast amounts of real capital that has catapulted their living standards up to a much more reasonable standard.

I wouldn't necessarily gamble on China because the system doing well looks unstable and could veer to disaster at any moment the central bureaucracy does something stupid. But we don't have strong evidence of a problem yet. We've got strong evidence they aren't acting like the US, but the US hasn't been setting an inspiring example in decades. As with a lot of economic problems, most of the damage from 2007 was doubling down on failing strategy rather than taking the hint that something needed to change.

And I'm not seeing evidence here that China is broke. They might muck this up, always an option, but they have all the tools they need to succeed in principle.
Oh, wow, yeah, that's really interesting. I don't understand electricity or know nearly enough about electrical engineering to be sure I understand the effect or flow you're describing, but if I (dimly) grasp what you're saying, it would explain exactly the behavior I observed.

Grounding really is incredibly weird (and, again, I say this as someone who is shamefully ignorant of electrical principles). It's no surprise that some 'audiophiles' become so superstitious about electricity. Its behavior in a stereo can be mysterious. Just looking at an amp funny seems like enough to cause a ground loop.
> If I didn't know better I'd think this was satire.

It’s actually a constant them on HN to imagine that passing laws will magically make problems disappear. The realities of enforcing the law or even identifying perpetrators are imagined to be the easy part.
The conops for this doesn’t make sense to me. Not only is it in a weird orbit but after the first lunar landing, which will have two astronauts, the rest will have four. With all 4 crew members on the lunar surface who will be working on gateway? SLS can max launch once a year. Are we really going to give up a lunar landing opportunity for a gateway only mission? Already 1 mission a year for a couple weeks is a big change from a quarter century of continuous operations on ISS. Mix of commercial space stations in LEO supported by regular NASA crews and lunar mission with eventual base seems the most inspiring and beneficial way to keep consistent presence in space was explaining exploration and building private space capability/infrastructure.
How could I test this?
>to signal that I'm a real person with real experience is to know someone in the company who can vouch for me (which I almost never do).

You ask your friends/past colleagues if the company they currently work for has any openings. If you've worked hard, solved problems and are good to work with, it's a good way to get further employment.
> What do you mean by "can't afford to?"

Cat boarding is pricey. I couldn't afford it right now, even for a very short trip. I doubt any job would offer to pick up the tab.
Yes, those are the consumer ones that are generally not individually addressable. I'm talking about WS2811 LEDs. Pretty much every WS2811 controller board is 5v, because there is only one manufacturer and that's all they make. The strips with 12v have a resistor on each one because people like to use 12v since you can power more lights before you have to inject more power.

She did a podcast interview about 8 weeks ago - and (somewhat) qualified her stance.

"I don't think anyone should take away from this, though, that there's nothing that can be done about our debt situation... I think there is a path or set of comprehensive fiscal policies that would raise taxes, cut spending, and enact meaningful entitlement reform -- if you put together a package such as that, you could write down a path that stabilizes debt over the medium-term."

I know it's technically safer to be in an airplane than a car, but for some reason the helplessness of being inside a plane always gets to me.

This idea of being in a metal barrel thrown at 900kmh relying on a hundred years of fuck-around-&-find-out at the mercy of a pilot who I do not know "but trust me". Yeesh.

Still, statistically, undeniably, the safest way to move people.

The dangerous parts of flying are landing and take off. Everything else is safe.
Not every country/airline has "rigorous pilot training and selection" -- US airlines require around 5x the number of flight hours as non-US. There are, generally, not enough pilots.
Interesting that even the first option fails to consider the obvious: you can have numbers after the decimal! So instead of moving to 4 and 3 you can move just one number to 2.3
And then you can tune it to whatever the most watchable outcome would be
Ah, the ol’ “manufacture an argument that wasn’t made, then shoot it down it in front of an audience” trick. I suppose I’ll be advocating for the outlawing of those kinds of comments, and anything else deemed as misinformation next.

A more realistic scenario would involve no enforcement by the government (except perhaps in extreme cases, like with the 'spam king' back in the day). ChatGPT's terms of service would already cover it under the "shall not be used for illegal activity" language, and it would be just enough of a deterrence to benefit a larger number of people without creating new problems. But I wasn't advocating for a specific solution, just a call to a congressman. Despite their faults and flaws, they're probably still going to do a better job than I am at making the call, or maybe it won't even be a priority for them and they'll do nothing.
Maybe it is time for a set of unions or guilds to do that certification for you.
Who cares if someone is copying your profile?

Having an established LinkedIn profile with their simple identity verification tool is such a trivial amount of effort for de-risking your job search that it’s hard to justify boycotting LinkedIn at this point.

If an application looks suspicious for some reason, I’ll look for their LinkedIn profile as the second step. If I can’t find one or if the profile is also questionable, I move on. LinkedIn is far from perfect, but it’s at least some signal in a world where the noise level is rising fast.

Today, the hardest part is to get to said first interview, because we are all flooded with fake resumes. Incomprensible amounts. So what you have to do is not send blind resumes, but get a warm intro from someone with a connection to the company that vouch that interviewing you will not be a total waste of time. Networks have never been more important.

Now, if on interview you pass rate is low, it's hard to say what you are doing wrong.

AI Isn't for Lazy People
Sort of off topic, but I'm always really surprised how well posts about spaced repetition and Anki do on HN.

I've been in the spaced repetition community for years and we honestly feel extremely niche and small even amongst eachother. It's cool to see that the community might be larger than I thought.
It might be sufficient. We do not know. We have no way of knowing.
